Have a feeling I'll get a few YABU's but interested in the overall consensus.
My friend had what I would describe as a difficult birth, she had a large baby, 24 hourish labour and failed ventouse then forceps delivery.
She doesn't go on and on about it to be fair, but if the subject of childbirth comes up she always talks about how awful her experience was.
Whilst I recognise that it wasn't a walk in the park I think she slightly over-eggs how bad it was as if it was the worst thing that ever happened to her.
I've got a friend who ended up with a crash section after three days in labour and one whose little one spent 6 weeks in SCBU so I guess I just think that they are the ones who really know what traumatic births are.

AIBU?
To think that my friend should just recognise that her birth experience wasn't THAT bad?
